Wall Street minted 56 new billionaires since the pandemic began - Most everyone else left behind

[DrLove]

Wonder if Loeffler and Perdue made the list with their awesome insider pandemic trades?

The bifurcated economy that took shape in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic destroyed the lives, savings and small businesses of innumerable Americans, but the year wasn’t a financial washout for everyone.​

​

Between roughly mid-March and Dec. 22, the United States gained 56 new billionaires, according to the Institute for Policy Studies, bringing the total to 659. The wealth held by that small cadre of Americans has jumped by more than $1 trillion in the months since the pandemic began.​

​

According to a December report issued jointly by Americans for Tax Fairness and the Institute for Policy Studies using data compiled by Forbes, America’s billionaires hold roughly $4 trillion in wealth — a figure roughly double what the 165 million poorest Americans are collectively worth. The 10 richest billionaires have a combined net worth of more than $1 trillion.​

why do you HATE wealthy people?
1. they pay MORE than their fair share of taxes
2. they create the JOBS for the ''un-wealthy'''

Wonder if this all of this transfer of wealth from middle class to billionaire class would have happened if Democrat governors hadn't kept their states' economies shut down for months, bankrupting their industries?

Rather selective in your outrage, aren't you?

I wonder if trump told us in February what he knew but he didn’t want us to panic.

I wonder if republicans didn’t go to trump rallies and thanksgiving and Xmas and Halloween parties if this pandemic would be under control

I wonder if trump didn’t compare wearing a mask to carrying a purse if less people would have got sick.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

The rich have been waging class warfare on the middle class since the 70s and you want to give them more tax breaks. You defend them.

You refuse to go after illegal employers even though that would run most of the illegals out and raise wages. You instead prefer to play wack a mole with illegal workers. This is one way the rich have gotten richer and this has cost American workers billions every year.

You defended the rich when you sent all our highest paying union jobs overseas. In fact you waged war on them in the 2000s. This made the rich richer and middle class poorer.

Meanwhile you ask why we hate the rich? House slave.

During the bush years, groups like the heritage foundation would write the legislation then hand it to a republican in the house. The republican didn’t even write or read the bill. But he put it forward.

I wonder if republicans didn’t go to trump rallies and thanksgiving and Xmas and Halloween parties if this pandemic would be under control

I wonder if trump didn’t compare wearing a mask to carrying a purse if less people would have got sick.

I wonder if the New York City Health Official and Mayor Bill DeBlasio hadn't told everyone there was nothing to worry about the pandemic would be under control.

I wonder if Nancy Pelosi hadn't gone down to Chinatown and told everyone there was no reason to fear the virus people wouldn't have gotten sick.

You see, I can play this game as much as you can, but I'm not the one who made this thread partisan from the very beginning. The OP did and it was a pretty weak attempt at that.
